Section 56 Disposition versions

2019-05-25

56. A person may communicate information to the Authority about the tendering or awarding process for a public contract or the performance of such a contract if the public body concerned does not appear to be acting or to have acted, in respect of the process or contract, in compliance with the normative framework.

The first paragraph applies despite the provisions on the communication of information in the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (chapter P-39.1) and the Act respecting Access to documents held by public bodies and the Protection of personal information (chapter A-2.1), except those in section 33 of the latter Act. It also applies despite any other communication restrictions under a law and any duty of confidentiality or loyalty that may be binding on a person, including toward an employer or, if applicable, a client.

However, the lifting of professional secrecy authorized under this section does not apply to professional secrecy between a lawyer or a notary and a client.
